    What is a Mobile Notary and When Do You Need One?

    Sometimes you need important documents notarized, but you simply cannot make it to a physical store. Whether due to a medical emergency, a busy corporate schedule, or a complex real estate closing, a Mobile Notary is the perfect solution.

    This article is part of our Complete Guide to Notary Services.

    How Mobile Notary Works

    A Mobile Notary is a commissioned Notary Public who travels to your specified location to perform notarizations. Instead of you coming to us, we bring the official notary seal to you. We verify identities, ensure signers are acting willingly, and witness the signatures right at your location.

    Common Uses for a Mobile Notary

    • Hospitals & Nursing Homes: When a family member needs to sign a Power of Attorney or medical directive but cannot leave their care facility.
    • Real Estate Closings: Meeting buyers, sellers, and title agents at the property or office to execute mortgage and deed documents.
    • Corporate Offices: Handling bulk I-9 verifications or complex corporate contracts without disrupting the workday.

    What to Prepare

    When the Mobile Notary arrives, all signers must be present and possess valid, unexpired government-issued photo ID (like a driver's license or passport). Do not sign the documents before the notary arrives.
